Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder of Ethereum, has once again made headlines in the crypto ecosystem. Recently, Vitalik Buterin sells memecoins that he received unsolicited in his wallet, in a move that resulted in a liquidation of nearly $100,000 in Ether (ETH).

Chinese investors are moving funds from Solana-issued meme coins to comparable tokens on BNB Chain, redirecting flows across major speculative venues.
